Snowflake gets her own back!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Miss May and Miss April back again!

It's been a fun day today. We have been keeping Old Two Legs on the run almost all day! First of all we woke him up at four thirty this morning 'cos we thought there was a fox sniffing around the caravan, only it wasn't, it was a cat and he legged it as soon as Holly and I started barking!

Mind you, OTL started to bark at us, so we couldn't really give the cat our full 'Woof Off' treatment!

The Page 3 Girls were having fun, Miss May was kicking the Poo Pot around the cage and Miss April was throwing her stainless steel milk bowl from the top shelf in the cage, right to the bottom and managing to hit every shelf on the way down!

Talk about noisy!

This all means we were late in getting out walk 'cos OTL had to clear up all the ferret Poo Tray contents before we could go out!

That also means that Snowflake had to stay in her house while May and April went on the rampage around the office!

May decided to torment Snowflake who got all upset and did a poo where she never normally poos, on one of the shelves!

Snowflake was not a 'Happy Ferret'!

Down on the Beach Holly said she didn't feel like a run around on account of her 'Grumbly Tum', so she sat on the beach and 'Watched the Morning'!

Jus' Watching The Morning Go By!

Both of the ferrets spent their time sniffing in the grass and hunting slugs!

Because we were 'Late on Parade' we met up with Barney who we hadn't seen for ages, so while OTL was gassing away, we caught up on the news. It seems that Barney has been banned from taking his ball out with him on the morning walk 'cos he has been loosing too many! I mean, what a thing to do to a woofer, deprive him of his ball!

A Stroke is OK but I'd rather chase my ball!

Back home we had a bowl of chicken waiting for us, so once again it was Nose Down and Tail Up until it had all gone, then off up to bed for a snooze.

Now, because of the Page 3 Girls making such a mess of their house, OTL had to let them go on a rampage around the house but that upset Snowflake who wanted to get out for a run as well!

So, OTL shut the office door and let Snowflake out for a small rampage in the office.

It took some time to get it all sorted but in the end it was nice and tidy and ready for the Girls.

Well, almost!

OTL put Snowflake back in her house before opening the office door to let the girls in but lucky for him, they were still down stairs hiding doggy biscuits behind the book case!

As OTL stood up in the office, he noticed something on the floor, just in front of the door where the ferrets come in, it was a soggy pile of poo and wee!

Snowflake had left her 'Calling Card'!

OTL said that was what is called an 'Insult'!

Luckily, OTL cleared it up before the Girls got back!

Miss Snowflake went off to sleep for a while but she woke up at eleven thirty and started to rattle the cage door, she wanted to get out for the midday walk! Now normally we have to wake her up but today she was up and ready for a run!

When we got down there she was straight into the grass, ferreting about hunting slugs and mouses!

I can do Cute as well!

We spotted the plank of wood that has been resting next to the 'Half Boat', slowly drifting past and heading out to sea! It looks like the high tide has picked it up and given it a shove down stream, now, the next thing to go is the 'Half Boat' if it wakes up in time to catch the tide!

Bye Bye Plank!

OTL said that he was considering fitting the Yellow Filter to his lens and switching over to Black & White for a while 'cos the sun has been shining through the clouds and giving some great sun beams and the clouds are beginning to break up into smaller clouds which make it good for a Yellow Filter!

Where is a Yellow Filter when you need it!

Snowflake was all interested in what Holly and I were sniffing even though they were 'Doggy Sniffs'. She said that Doggy Sniffs were rather strong and he nose was tuned to smaller sniffs like the wee of a vole!

She also said that the Kestrel bird can see the ultraviolet reflection of vole wee and uses that to locate where they are!

Gawd! Wee that glows in the sun shine, whatever next?

Snowflake has been awake for most of the day today, banging on her cage door to be let out and generally behaving 'Un Ferret Like' according to OTL. She has been cuddly, then she wants to explore everywhere and then she sneaks off to bed for ten minutes or so before waking up again and rattling the cage door again!

She has eaten her ferret food plus her normal 'Treats', so there is nothing strange there but it's this need to go on the 'Rampage'!

Maybe it has something to do with the time of year and she want to make the most of the daylight and the lights in the office keep her awake!

Yo Daisy, Holly and little furries, glad you've all had a good day. Daisy, that cat might have been a fox in disguise as a cat ...... I think OTL should say thank you to you for telling him something was sneaking around the caravan. My fox seems to have moved on, maybe because my mum moved the compost heap and mended the fence, there were no eyes watching me last night when I did my last patrol. Them page 3 girls are just hooligans, fancy making so much mess that it made you late for your morning stroll. Good to see that Barney has popped up again, now if his TL bought him a football, it would be harder to loose. A bowl of chicken at the end of a walk sounds delicious to me, you are lucky.Now what's this with Miss Snowflake, was she on the interweb this morning learning all about kestrels and glow in the sun wee? I know how Miss Snowflake feels, I keep eating all my scoff, then I have to wait until my mum forgets I had scoff and try to trick her into giving me more. Sorry to hear Holly chops has a grumbly tum, that's not nice, hope she soon feels better. I think she has the right idea, sit down and take it easy and watch the world go by. Hope there are some good muggings tonight girls, stay warm and snuggled. Love, licks and wags from little Arch xxxxxxxx

Glad that Holly ate her chicken, good girl, can't leave such delicious food, who knows when that opportunity will crop up again. Snowflake seems disturbed by something, not having her normal sleeps, maybe she is worried about Mr Fox turning up indoors, better reassure her that OTL is very careful. Those Calendar Girls are noisy and very mischievous kicking all their stuff about and I don't blame Snowflake for showing her disgust by leaving them a little present. Sorry OTL had to get more work though. You are going to have to club together and buy Barney a big orange ball, easier to see and harder to loose. We are looking forward to the Harrietsham Show on the 21st, see you there. Meanwhile try and get a bit of order in those little furries or going to their own Show will go to their heads and who knows what they will get up to. xxxxx

About Me

Hello, my name is Daisy and I was taken away from
Mum and Dad by Old Two Legs and The Missus one cold dark evening. It was a bit
traumatic at the time but we all soon settled down and everything is OK now.

My sister Holly came to live with us about a year later and between the pair of us we manage to keep these Two Legs in line!

In December 2012, we were joined by Snowflake, a little ferret we found in our garden. She had her own home in OTL's office called Snowy Heights!

Then in July 2013 Mr Brambles, a super Sandy Hob Ferret, came to live with us and be a mate for Snowflake. We sadly lost Mr Brambles to old age in September 2015. A gentle ferret who will be missed terribly. We also lost Miss Snowflake in November 2015. She has left a big hole in our hearts, she was a real Daddy's Girl to the end.

There arrived two new ferrets in August 2015, Miss May and Miss April who are sisters, born in 2013, we think! They were full of fun and mischief and kept up the tradition of pinching our biscuits, just like Brambles did!

Sadly Miss April contracted Cardiomyopathy, which is a heart condition. She died in September 2016 and is resting in a flower pot in the garden with Snowflake and Brambles.

We were down to two ferrets and an empty cage but that didn't last long, a brother and sister ferrets needed a 'Forever Home' and Fred & Wilma moved in. They are about two and a half years old, so they were born 2012/2013. Fred is a gentle soul who loves cuddles with OTL and Wilma a bossy sister but loves OTL! We reckon them to be Polecat Coloured Ferrets.

It was a shock when Wilma was attacked by a dog and unfortunately died of shock a few hours later. Like Snowflake, Brambles and April, she is also sleeping in a flower pot in our garden.

Fred was not happy about being on his own and he was introduced to Wendy, a Polecat Coloured Ferret who found her way to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

Introductions went well to begin with but within a day or so she began instructing Fred on just who was really in charge!

We had something similar with Miss May who lost her sister to Cardiomyopathy (Weak Heart). Miss May is a feisty young lady and she was introduced to Eric de Ferret while we were down at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and although she tried to be a bit bossy, he was having none of it! He may only be six months old but her didn't back down and the pair came to an agreement!

So young Eric moved in and they both started to learn how to get on together!

OTL takes us walking every day and we have 'Adventures'! The Missus feeds us, so, what more can a pair of puppies and family of fun loving ferrets ask for?
